An affordable and pocket-size glossary for Ivy Look devotees
Authored by a leading expert on the style, The Ivy Look A to Z is a celebration of the clothing and accessories of the Ivy Look. First emerging in the Ivy League schools of America's East Coast during the 1950s and '60s, the Ivy Look has had a lasting sartorial impact on fashion and culture. Democratic, stylish and comfortable, it has been embraced by presidents, film stars, businessmen and hipsters alike. With its understated yet carefully curated components, the Ivy Look embodies an approachable correctness and laid-back confidence. This visual lexicon showcases all the Ivy essentials and how to wear them—including D for Desert Boots, L for Loafers, M for Madras, O for Oxford Shirts and T for Trench Coats. Each entry is accompanied by original illustrations and text by Graham Marsh alongside period album covers, magazine advertisements, movie posters and photographs of Ivy icons such as Miles Davis, Steve McQueen and Paul Newman. With illustrations rendered in the style of a comic book, The Ivy Look A to Z offers a playful, approachable guide to a versatile, enduring style.
